One of the most effective dry flies in the West or anywhere that Caddisflies are prevalent. The X Caddis was created by Craig Matthews of Blue Ribbon Flies in West Yellowstone. This hair wing caddis pattern imitates the emerging adult Caddis as it struggles in the surface film while escaping its nymphal shuck. The X-Caddis rides lower in the water than other Caddis imitations, and is especially effective on slick water or spring creeks. Located in Oregon, we tie 1000's of patterns from the proven classics to the newest innovations. This classic favorite dry fishing fly is perhaps one of the best caddis and general flying aquatic insect imitations ever tied, and is a perfect searching fly pattern.
